RICHARD '1". BERRY, or GEORGETOWN, MISSISSIPPI.

FUEL SAVER.

Application filed June 8, 1925.

To all whom it may concern: 7

Be it known that I, RICHARD T. BERRY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Georgetown, in the county of Copiah and State of Mississippi, have invented a new and useful Fuel Saver, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a heating device so constructed that it may bepositioned in the usual open fireplace, novel means being provided for causing air to enter an air chamber at the rear of the heating device where it passes upwardly and out through the forward portion thereof into the room or compartment in which the device is positioned.

A further object of the invention is to provide novel means wherein the air passing to the air chamber will be divided and distributed equally throughout the base of the air chamber to insure the heating of the air before it passes into the room.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a device which may be readily and easily positioned for use, eliminating the necessity of making alterations in the usual open fireplace construction to install the device.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention. 7

Referring to the drawings:

Figure 1' is a front elevational view of a heating device constructed in accordance with the present invention.

Figure 2 is a plan view thereof.

Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view through the central portion of the device taken on line 3-3 of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on line 4-4 of Figure 1.

Figure 5 is a sectional view taken on line 55 of Figure 1. 7

Referring to the drawings in detail, the device includes a bottom wall 5 and a rear offset wall 6, the rear ofiset wall 6 being connected with the walls 7 by means of the walls 8.

Serial No. 35,686.

The bottom of the heating device is inclicated by the reference character 9 and is supported in spaced relation with the bottom wall 5, by means of the baffles 10 that are arranged in spaced relation with each other providing passageways through which air may pass to the rear wall 6.

Arranged in spaced relation with therear wall 6 and resting on the bottom wall 9 is a wall 11 which defines a passageway with the rear wall so that air passing under the bottom 9 is directed rearwardly and around the rear wall 11 where it may become heated.

At the upper portion of the device is a contracted portion 12 defining a chimney around which the air may pass after it'has been heated on its passage behind the wall 6. The walls 13 have connection withthe rear wall 11 and lie in spaced relation with the walls 8, the forward ends of the walls 13 being provided with laterally extended flanges 14 that rest against the walls 7 to msure against the inner section being moved into engagement with the rear wall 6.

Air, after it passes around the walls 11 and 13, passes upwardly into the pipe 15 that communicates with the space between the walls 6 and 11, from where the air passes into the room being heated by the device.

From the foregoing it will be obvious that air will be drawn into the heating device between the bottom walls 5 and 9 from where it will pass between the partitioning members 10 and upwardly into the air chamber formed between the walls 6 and 11. In this way the air. will become thoroughly heated and discharged through the pipe 15 arranged at the'upper portion thereof.

I claim V 1. A heating device adapted to be positioned in an open fireplace, and formed with a rear wall, side walls and a bottom wall, an

inner member including a rear wall, side walls and a bottom wall spaced. from the first mentioned walls to provide air passageways, flanges formed on the side walls of the inner member and engaging the side walls of the first mentioned member to hold the inner member in spaced relation, and means for dividing the space between the bottom walls into separate passageways.

2. A heating device adapted to be positioned in an open fireplace, said heating device including a rear wall, side walls and a bottom wall, an inner member including side walls, and a rear wall-spaced from the side and rear Walls of the first mentioned side and end Walls, said inner member including a bottom Wall spaced from the first mentioned bottom Wall, baflies arranged between the bottom Walls and. having their inner extremities spaced from the rear Walls. and bafiies arranged between the first mentioned tom'wa'lls to provide air passageways.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signatnre.

RICHARD T. BERRY.
